Referencing a .NET Standard library from a Windows Class Library

Question

There are two projects in my solution currently: a Windows Class Library (targeting .NET Framework 4.6.1) and another class library that targets .NE

Answer 1

You can not use some libraries in PCL projects because it is not built as a PCL and it is not cross platform. Some namespace is unavailable in PCL projects and it is not listed here.

The following assemblies are available within a Portable Class Library project:

• mscorlib.dll

• System.dll

• System.Core.dll

• System.Xml.dll

• System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll

• System.Net.dll

• System.Runtime.Serialization.dll

• System.ServiceModel.dll

• System.Xml.Serialization.dll

• System.Windows.dll (from Silverlight)

However, not all of these assemblies are supported on all platforms.
